(a–f) Paths for the corresponding migration events in MAPbBr3 are analogous. The colours of the frames go from blue (initial states) to green (intermediate states) to red (final states). (a,b) Migration path of I− along the equatorial-to-equatorial and equatorial-to-axial channels, respectively. (c,d) Migration paths of MA+ along the equatorial and axial channels, respectively. (e,f) Migration paths of Pb2+ along the axial and equatorial channels. Both paths are rather complicated. The details are described in the main text.
